In the default vbulletin style several links are blue in color... One of these is the "Upload Pictures" link in albums but there are a few others including "Send Message" and "Edit User Profile" in My Profile... I've gone through every option in "All Style Options" and I can't find out what controls this link color. I've looked at the source code, there is no class or id assigned to these links nor to the <td> tag they are in. If I assign a color to the default <td> tag which is an option in "All Style Options" then I can change the background color but there is no option to choose a font color in those boxes.

I've even tried manually added link= / vlink= to the <body> tag on the templates but that doesn't affect the link color either. I've changed the browser default color from blue to red but still these links remain blue so somewhere somehow something is telling them to be blue.

Any ideas what I need to do to change these colors?

Thanks.

I don't know the answer because I'm not sure which link you're talking about. But I like to use Google Chrome for things like that, if you right click on the link (or anything else) and choose "inspect element" you get a popup that shows a lot of stuff including which styles/attributes are applied to that element.

Thanks... I do use google chrome and did use "inspect element" but neither the <a href> tag, the <td> tag, or the <table> tag have any id or class assigned to them. There is a div tag with the id "usercss" around that all. When i add a:link/a:visited CSS to the additional CSS in All Style Options it doesn't change anything.

Attached is a screen show showing the links I'm talking about.

Nevermind... I just realized they are controlled by settings in your "customized user profile" for some dumb reason... once I cleared that the links are the expected colors again.

How is a user supposed to know they have to pick a color scheme that will work well on every style? This is really something that shouldn't be controlled by the user.

I should have figured - I think I was the last one to find out about that feature. :)
